Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Encoro de Salas, a reservoir in Galicia, typically shows water temperatures that follow the region’s mild Atlantic climate. In summer the surface can warm to roughly 18–24 °C (64–75 °F), making it the most comfortable season for bathing; in spring and autumn temperatures commonly range from about 10–18 °C (50–64 °F); and in winter the water often falls to around 4–10 °C (39–50 °F). These figures are approximate and can vary with weather patterns, time of day and depth, since reservoirs stratify and deeper water remains substantially colder than the surface even in warm months.
Swimming in and around Encoro de Salas is subject to local regulation and practical safety considerations. Some reservoirs in Galicia permit recreational bathing in designated areas during summer, but others restrict access because they serve as water-supply bodies, have infrastructure (intakes, dams) or present hazards such as sudden depth changes, currents and cold deep water. Water quality can also vary, so authorities sometimes close bathing for health reasons after heavy rains. Before entering the water, check local signage or municipal guidance; if bathing is allowed, take standard precautions against cold shock and hidden underwater hazards.
